About this property

Amazing Water Views from the Harbour Masters Cottage! 2 mins walk to the beach

Escape to a haven where time stands still and nature paints the perfect backdrop for your coastal retreat. Welcome to the Harbour Master's Cottage!

Tucked away on the side of Paku, surrounded by lush foliage and embraced by ancient trees, our cottage offers a retreat like no other. Imagine.... stepping out the door for a morning walk up the achient volcano peak, strolling down the hill for a beach afternoon and finishing the day with wine on the deck taking in the magnificent coastal views.

The old harbour masters cottage split over 2 levels the upper and original building is made up of a main bedroom (queen bed), bathroom/laundry, modern kitchen and living space with TV. The top level expands onto a large balcony and bbq facilities overlooking the ever-changing estuary and mountain scenery. A sheltered back deck with outdoor lounge is the perfect spot to gaze upon the bush of the mountain and beautiful old tree.

The recently constructed lower level has an additional bathroom and own bathroom. There is also lower deck access that looks out over the water.

This property is accessible via a long staircase and guests should consider this before booking.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
The stairs to the property need to be described as a goat track, not some steps. Place felt cold and damp on arrival, improved once aired out. We had an invasion of ants during our stay and had to go buy some fly spray to deal with them. No dishwasher either, I know it wasn't described as having, but at the price point, would have expected.
